"COMMUNIST INTERNATIONAL"

To the editorial board of Comintern

I cannot write anything new. If you wish, obtain my 1906 pamphlet "The Victory of the Cadets and the Tasks of the Workers' Party"* and reprint from it [the section] on dictatorship ("The Retreat" and a few other things).

This will come out very opportunely. I will write 20 lines of a preface.355

With communist greetings,
Lenin
